z, has the following: " The trustees of the
Universalist church have decided to
make beginning on their church edifice
Immediately, and although they have not
enough money raised as yet, they hope to
let the contract and have work begin on
the foundation this week."-During the
past year the Rev. I. W. Mclaughlin has
been preaching on alternate Sundays in
Derby Line and Huntingville, P. @.
Both parishes seem to be in better condi-
ton than they were year ago. Hunt
ingville felt strong enough to support the
pastor il he would preach to them every
Sunday. But Derby Line strongly OBJ
jected to this proposition, and by unan-
ipaous vote directed their trustees to ask
the pastor upon what terms he could be
induced to extend his engagement to the
first of July, 1888. The terms have been
agreed upon. Both parishes have ex-
pressed willingness to put up with
"half loaf each;" and Mr.. Mclaughlin
will minister to the spiritual needs of
both for the coming year, as he has done
in the past.
